I can't help but wonder why you're using the line_order field at all.
Can't you nix it and count the number of records with each order# as a
stored procedure or some such? It would make your entire order system
easier.
Also, you may think about capturing that first row in its own list:
$fp = fopen("/tmp/"."$txt_file", "r") ;
$headers = fgets($fp,1024) ;
while( $line = fgets( $fp,1024) ) {
$row[] = csv_explode($line);
$table[][] = $row[]
} // Now you've got your whole table in $table[][]
In your csv_explode function, you can use split() to make things
easier on yourself:
$out[] = split(',' $line, 7) ; // Your file has 7 fields, so don't overrun that
Even if you insist on calculating an order_line, you can still use
split. Just push a count onto the end of the list.
$out[] = $order_line ; // according to php.net, array_push() shouldn't be used
I strongly urge you whack the order_line. Or maybe I can bother you
to give me more info about it? It's hard to judge without being
closer to the situation.
Peace,
Doug
